CODGERS by Don Reid.

Winner of the prestigious Rodney Seaborn Playwright's Award

Eavesdrop on six senior Aussie men, some of them mates since war service, as they sweat it out together each week in a gym and are taken on inter-connecting journeys that are challenging, touching and very funny. When secrets, differences and loss of trust threaten to destroy the long established friendships, they learn that 'difference' is more a matter of point of view: that 'you wouldn't be dead for quids' and, no matter what, that you gotta laugh!

A comedy about ageing, friendship and being a 'codger'.
